Another example, files we upload to the corporate one drive would be auto scanned for export compliance after upload, sometimes triggering a security person to come down hard on you for making a mistake. After being hit with it once I asked if I could run that scanning tool before I upload, and was told no. I was pretty surprised they preferred to catch mistakes than prevent them. Wouldn't prevention be better than cure?

Not really. If you wanted to find a way to exfiltrate it would be in your favor to have the tool client side that you were trying to bypass.

My favorite was IT at a health insurance company enabling OneDrive on user desktop / personal folders without notice, then yelling at users that sensitive files were being "uploaded" to OneDrive instead of kept local.
